Waiting Children, both girls (45%) and boys (55%), range in age from about 1 year to 13 years at the time of match.

While some medical conditions may be considered minor in the US, other conditions
may be more significant and even encompass multiple issues. It is also possible
that a child may be placed with physical and/or emotional problems, minor or major,
that have remained partially or totally undiagnosed and which were unknown to CCAI.
Therefore, when considering a Waiting Child, CCAI strongly encourages families to
work with their pediatrician, medical specialist, insurance company, and social
worker to ensure that they are physically, financially, emotionally, and practically
prepared to parent their Waiting Child.
